Active Listening

Although speaking is the first action that comes to mind when one hears the word “communication”, it’s actually just half of the equation. Equally important is listening. Rather than passively listening and just letting information flow at you, listen actively. Relax your body, maintain eye contact and keep interruptions to a minimum. 【小题2】, do so at a pause and only to paraphrase (释义) to clarify what the person is saying.

Watch your words. Before you say something to someone make sure you know what you are saying. At times, out of anger or anxiousness, we say things that we must not say. Remember, words once spoken cannot be taken back. 【小题5】

The words you use say a lot about you. Knowing which word to use and understanding how to use them are both key to communicating effectively and accurately.
